The madmen make new botulisms
For which there is no cure
Bombs of jellied gasoline
Grisly suffering to ensure.

From the paranoiac nation.Once we gave the world Edison

The phonograph, Hollywood, winged flight,

A thousand great inventions
Medical vaccines, electric light!
Now our factories make napalm
Is there nothing but the night?
How did it happen
That our chief industry is war?
What put us on the path
To destroy all the good that went before?
